Description
A delicious layered lasagna made with sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots, topped with feta, walnuts, and a cranberry-honey glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup fresh cranberries (or 1 cup cranberry sauce)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- In a small saucepan, combine cranberries and honey over medium heat. Cook until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix ricotta cheese, feta cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer half of the sweet potato slices on top, followed by half of the butternut squash and half of the carrot slices.
- Spread half of the remaining cheese mixture over the vegetables, then sprinkle with half of the walnuts. Repeat the layering process with the remaining vegetables, cheese mixture, and walnuts.
- Pour 1/4 cup of water around the edges of the dish to help steam the vegetables. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the cranberry-honey glaze over the top before serving.
Notes
- For added protein, consider layering in cooked ground turkey or lentils between the vegetable layers.
- Substitute the walnuts with pecans or sunflower seeds for a different flavor and texture.
